When Xianglan saw that everyone had arrived, she announced loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet. She exhaled vigorously, her voice was delicate and beautiful, and suddenly the whole audience was in an uproar, and there was silence. Xianglan immediately turned around and sat next to the county lord to accompany her, and the magpie, Bailing and other maids stood quietly behind her.

Then Wang Xiang, the deputy master of the Quanxiang Gate, walked into the field and said loudly: "The county lord is coming, the clouds are shining, and the Tanzhou Conference is more powerful." Today coincides with the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Tanzhou Martial Arts Alliance. If the alliance is established, it will be a festive event. ”

Wang Xiang paused, and said: "When this sect was established, it had an appointment with various factions, and today it established a martial arts alliance to unite the forces of the rivers and lakes, resist the crooked and evil ways, assist the government, maintain the justice of the rivers and lakes, and reconcile the disputes between the sects. I wonder if you have any objections? ”

As soon as Wang Xiang's voice fell, there was a burst of cheers all around, obviously this was a deliberate arrangement of the whole Xiangmen. Some sects that have already made friends with the whole Xiangmen naturally expressed their approval.

The martial arts factions in Tanzhou only have Lushan Temple, Kaifu Temple, Sishui Dart Bureau and three or five small sects, and they have not made a clear statement. The situation is one-sided, and there is little suspense about the formation of the alliance.

Wang Xiang saw that Master Lichen, the abbot of Lushan Temple, was silent, so he asked, "I don't know what Master Chen wants?" ”

The abbot of Lichen is in a dilemma, if he raises an objection at this time, he will immediately become the target of public criticism. In the future, the disciples of Lushan Temple will be struggling on the rivers and lakes. The purpose of the alliance proposed by Quan Xiangmen is above board, and there is nothing to find fault with. The government has given it recognition, and the county lord is coming to cheer in person, which is already overwhelming.

The abbot had no choice but to fold his hands and say, "Amitabha, Lushan Temple has no objection to the theme of your initiative. It's just that Lushan Temple is a monk, so it is inconvenient to participate too much in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. ”

Wang Xiang said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." Although Lushan Temple is said to be a monk, it is also bathed in royal grace, and he has to serve the court and solve problems for the government. The monks and lay disciples of Lushan Temple are chivalrous and righteous on the rivers and lakes, so how can they not ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Yunlu Palace's Qingxu Dao has been a master of the world, and they all agree and support, not to mention how can the famous Lushan Temple be left behind. ”

Wang Xiang talked eloquently, obviously well prepared. In addition, Wang Xiang had something to say, and he specially complimented the Taoist. It is necessary to know that the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism have their own believers, and the well water on the surface does not interfere with the river water, but in fact they are secretly competing. Today's gathering in Yunlu Palace has invisibly greatly helped the prestige of Taoism in Yunlu Palace.

While Master Lichen was thinking about it, the Qingxu Daoist interjected and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. What the master of the door said was extremely true, Poor Dao didn't want to ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but he felt that there should still be justice and righteousness in the rivers and lakes. Poor Dao announced the establishment of the Yunlu Palace Taoist School today, and since then, it has recruited disciples and promoted Taoism. Contribute to the imperial court and serve the rivers and lakes. "Qingxu Dao Chang Immortal Wind Dao Bone, wearing a green robe, stood forward, like an immortal standing proudly.

The abbot of Lichen had no choice but to say: "Since the fellow people in the rivers and lakes agree and the court approves, our temple has no objections." "The rest of the various sects that were still hesitating had already agreed to see that Lushan Temple, so naturally they had nothing to say.

Wang Xiang saw that everyone had recognized the alliance, and said with great joy: "Since the martial arts parties have no objection to the alliance, the next step is to nominate a hero with high morality and outstanding martial arts as the leader of the alliance, and all sects will be ordered together." ”

Someone immediately shouted: "Naturally, we want to invite the master of the whole Xiangmen to be the leader of the alliance." Some people also said: "Master Lichen is the best candidate for the alliance leader." The crowd was in an uproar and quarrelling.

Seeing this, Wang Xiang immediately shouted: "Please be quiet." He had a strong internal strength, his strength shouted, the valley echoed, and the voices of the people were completely suppressed by him.

Wang Xiang shouted: "If you argue like this, naturally there is no result. Let's first nominate a few judges, and the judges will determine the selection method. Everyone agreed in unison.

Wang Xiang continued: "For the sake of fairness, I will recommend Mr. Li Yan, a famous martial arts scholar in Tanzhou, Mr. Yang, a senior in Jianghu, and the county lord as judges. None of them are from Tanzhou, so they can naturally judge fairly. ”

Wang Xiang's proposal was unexpected, and these three people had nothing to do with the whole Xiangmen except for the county lord. On the face of it, they really have no selfish motives. Naturally, everyone had no objections, and Wang Xiang loudly invited Li Yan and Yang Fan to take a seat.

Under the attention of everyone, it is inconvenient for the two to shirk. Yang Fan said: "Thank you for your love. He walked towards the front seat, accompanied by Yang Xing and Hongying. Yang Fan went to the front, and after saluting the county lord, he sat on the right side of the county lord, and Yang Xing and Hongying stood behind him.

Li Yan and Liu Shui discussed softly, stood up, and saluted all parties: "Thank you for your attention." He took Li Feng and Furong to the front desk, and after saluting the county lord, he sat on the left side of the county lord, with Li Feng and Liangchen standing behind. As the landlord, the head of Qingxu Dao sat on the side to accompany him.

When Wang Xiang saw everyone seated, he asked, "How to elect the leader of the alliance, please let the three judges show it." ”

The county lord hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's ask the two seniors to express their opinions." ”

Yang Fan said slowly: "Since it is an alliance of various factions, then please nominate one person from each faction to participate in the selection." From the election, the people will compare and select one person as the leader of the alliance. ”

The county lord asked, "What is Senior Li's opinion?" ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "What Brother Yang said is extremely true. However, it can be added that if there is a sect that knows that it is not enough to fight against others, it can also nominate people from other sects. ”

The county lord immediately said: "The two seniors are right, and the juniors have no objections. ”

Wang Xiang saw that the rules had been set by the three judges, so he announced loudly: "You have heard what the three judges said just now. Now I invite all factions to nominate candidates. ”

In fact, compared with the current momentum of various factions, only the master of the Quanxiang Gate and the abbot of Lushan Temple have the strength and qualifications. The other sects can only watch the excitement.

Sure enough, some small sects elected Xiao Xianglan, the master of the Quanxiang Sect, and some of them elected Master Lichen, the abbot of Lushan Temple.

Wang Xiang said: "At present, two candidates have been proposed. Because it involves this door, how to evaluate it is up to the three judges to decide, and it is reasonable to avoid suspicion below. After Wang Xiang finished speaking, he returned to his place and sat down.

The county lord said to Li and Yang: "Two seniors, now there are two candidates, what do you think?" ”

Yang Fan said: "Both of them have virtue, Lushan Temple has been deified for a long time, and the whole Xiangmen is even more generous. In this way, it can only be decided by force. ”

Li Yan wanted to conclude with martial arts, but he was fine, so he said: "The old man agrees with Brother Yang's proposal, but it is just a martial arts competition, and it is good to do it, and there must be no harm to life." ”

The county lord said: "If it's just two of them competing, they can't show the strength of the two factions, it's better to have three people from each of the two factions, compete three times, and win two games, then you will be the leader of the Tanzhou Martial Arts Alliance." ”

The county lord naturally wanted to know more about the strength of the two factions.

Yang Fan and Li Yan had no objections, so the county lord asked Qingxu to announce the rules.

Qingxu said loudly: "Please choose three people from Xiangmen and Lushan Temple to compete, and if you win two games, you will be the leader of the alliance, and the winners and losers will be made by the three judges." ”

Then Xianglan stood up, walked to the people in Xiangmen, turned around and saluted all parties, and said, "Thank you for your love." ”

Xianglan turned to the abbot of Wuxian and said: "I have heard for a long time that the internal strength of Lushan Temple is unique in the rivers and lakes, the stick method is strong and fierce, and the palm technique is exquisite. This door wants to invite Lushan Temple to show off its skills to comfort everyone's hopes. ”

Everyone was surprised that she knew so much about Lushan Temple, and dared to challenge Lushan Temple's stunts in public, with a fearless posture.

Master Lichen has no room to retreat at this moment. Although he has no intention of competing for power, the reputation of Lushan Temple is at stake, and he has to deal with challenges.

After Xianglan finished speaking, she stepped back and sat down. Behind him, the Dongfang Elder of the Xiangmen Gate strode out, came to the middle of the field, and saluted in all directions with his fists clenched. Then he shouted to the people of Lushan Temple: "Below is the elder of the whole Xiangmen, who has come to teach the White Crane Palm Method. ”

Lichen said to a monk behind him: "Senior Brother Wuchen, you can go and meet this benefactor." "Wuchen came to the Eastern Elder and saluted.

Elder Dongfang returned the salute with his fists, and in the blink of an eye, he grabbed a palm and slashed straight into the dust. Wuchen leaned sideways and slapped it out with one palm. The two of you go back and forth, fists flying.

Liu Shui took a closer look, the dust-free moves were wonderful, his body was erratic, and he was known for his dexterity. The Dongfang Elder's moves are simple, but they are strong and vigorous, with a fierce spirit. The two of them are strong and soft, and they are good at winning. But as time goes by, it depends on who has more profound skills.

After dozens of moves, Wuchen's body gradually became slightly dull. The spirit of the Dongfang Elder is still the same, and the palm power is even more undiminished. Suddenly, Elder Dongfang attacked left and right at the same time with a move of "double palms simultaneously", and his palm strength was strong.

Wuchen didn't dare to make a hard connection, so he jumped into the air, intending to turn over in the air, but due to the loss of internal force, the jump was not high enough, and Elder Dongfang seized the opportunity and slammed his palms upwards in an instant. Wuchen was hit in both legs and fell to the ground instantly.

If it was a life-and-death fight, at this time, Elder Dongfang only needed to step forward and slap him, and he could die without dust. Elder Dongfang took two steps back and did not pursue.

Master Lichen said: "Amitabha, in this competition, this temple admits defeat. ”

Wuchen stood up strongly, bowed to Elder Dongfang, and then limped back behind Dust.

As soon as the Dongfang Elder retreated, a person jumped out of the whole Xiangmen and stood in the middle of the field. The person who came was the Ximen elder of the whole Xiangmen, who held a double gong in his hand and stood proudly.

Elder Ximen shouted: "Elder Quanxiangmen leads the Lushan stick method. ”

Lichen said to a monk: "Out of the dust, you go to the meeting, be careful." ”

Chuchen then held a stick in his hand and flew in front of Elder Ximen. The two of them finished saluting.

Elder Ximen's right hand "straight split Huashan", and his left hand "swept thousands of armies", and quickly attacked at the same time. Out of the dust dance stick into a circle, block the double mace, and turn his hand to "Mount Tai pressed the top" and smashed the Ximen elder.

The two of them flew with sticks and became entangled together. Liu Shui said to the peony: "You have to experience it with your heart, observe carefully, their stick techniques and techniques are very exquisite. The two are evenly matched, and for a while, they can't tell the winner. ”

The dust stick in the field is like a tiger, and the tiger is vigorous. Elder Ximen is like a swimming dragon, and he does not fall into the wind. After more than 100 moves, a stick out of the dust was split from above, and the Ximen elder made a grid on the left, and the right one suddenly flew out of his hand and smashed straight over.

Shocked, obviously he didn't expect the other party to have such a move. In a hurry, the dust can only retreat, and it is too late. He had only taken two steps back, and the brass had already struck Dust's chest. The dust suddenly flew upside down and fell to the ground.

The two of them rushed out of Lushan Temple and hurriedly ran over to help him up. Chuchen spat out blood, he was seriously injured, and the monks were busy treating him.

The four masters of Lushan Temple are dusty, dust-free, dust-free, and dust-killing are all well-known first-class masters in Tanzhou, but they didn't expect to lose two games in a row at this moment, and everyone was very shocked by the strength of Xiangmen. The two elders who made the move were so powerful, and the martial arts of the deputy sect master and the beautiful door master must be even more unfathomable.

Master Lichen said slowly: "Among the whole Xiangmen, there are many talents, no wonder it is famous in a short time. The old man admired, and Lushan Temple admitted defeat. ”

Xianglan said: "The master has won the award. The elder of this sect did not know the severity of his shot, and injured the master of your temple, and asked the master Haihan. ”

Master Lichen said lightly: "The competition of martial arts skills is inevitable. Congratulations to the master of the door for being appointed as the leader of the Tanzhou Alliance. It is hoped that Tanzhou Wulin will eliminate disputes and enjoy peace from now on. ”

Xianglan said: "This is the humility of the master. The little girl originally wanted to personally comprehend the divine skills of your sect, but it seems that the master didn't want to give this opportunity. ”

Lichen said: "This martial arts practice is not for the sake of competing for strength, but just to strengthen the body in order to defend oneself, and there is no magic skill." ”

The county lord saw that Lushan Temple automatically admitted defeat, and he was bored about not being able to see the competition of the strongest masters on both sides, but he was helpless. She had no choice but to signal the void and announce the result.

Qingxu walked up a few steps and announced loudly: "The leader of the Martial Arts Alliance this time is Miss Xiao Xianglan, the master of the Quanxiang Sect. ”

As soon as his words fell, gongs and drums rang out in unison, and firecrackers erupted. Everyone said in unison: "Congratulations to the master of the Li Sect on being appointed as the leader of the Tanzhou Alliance." We will follow it as hard as we can. ”

Xianglan said loudly, "Thank you for your trust. The little girl will do her best for the stability of the court and the rivers and lakes. In the future, all factions can come to the main altar of this sect for help. Xianglan will invite you to a banquet on a certain day, please take the time to come. ”

Linglong and Lingli suddenly shouted in unison: "Please be quiet, the county lord has something to say." The two of them shouted in unison, and immediately suppressed the noise of hundreds of people present, and the strength of their skills was really terrifying, and everyone was frightened and silent.

The county lord got up slowly and said, "First of all, congratulations to Sister Xianglan for being the leader of the Tanzhou Martial Arts Alliance. But I hope that the alliance leader can restrain friends in the rivers and lakes and abide by the laws and regulations of the imperial court. She paused. Although she didn't shout loudly, she spoke with her inner strength, and everyone present heard it, as if she was speaking in her own ear, and her internal strength was cultivated to several levels.

The county lord went on to say: "Those who dare to be enemies of the court must be severely punished." A few days ago, the leader of the Ma Gang, a bandit who robbed the official silver, committed suicide in fear of crime, and the head of the Divine Sword Sect was also punished. These two factions have been seized by the imperial court. His family members and disciples have all been convicted of being confiscated into the army, sent to the army, or enslaved or prostituted. ”

Lord Gao glanced at the audience, and everyone was terrified when they heard that the two factions had been destroyed, the whole family had suffered, and the joint faction had been convicted. Yunlu Palace was deadly silent, and no one dared to make the slightest sound.

The county lord continued: "Although the official silver has been recovered, the official food is still missing. Fellow Jianghu people, if you can provide information and assist the government to recover the official food, the court will definitely reward you for your merits and deeds, and increase your official ranks. I would like to ask you for this. With that, she bowed and bowed.
